Answer 1

B. It created an exit exam for high school seniors
The Education Accountability Act(1998) brought about education accountability reforms. It required State Board of Education to establish specific standards in math, English/language arts, science, and social studies. These standards were to provide the basis for student assessment in grades three through eight as well as a high school exit exam.
